consequential work
Work that is discovered while original work is in progress and immediately takes priority over your original intent. Consequential work involves significantly more effort/time/resources than the original work required.
So I was painting the kitchen, when a chunk of the wall comes right off in my hand because hornets had built a nest and chewed right through the drywall. Luckily, the hornets weren't home, but I'm gonna have to get rid of the nest and patch the drywall before I can finish painting. Nothin' like consequential work, damn it!

Consequentiology
The study of consequences—how they are produced, attributed, and constructed socially. Consequentiology moves beyond simple cause-and-effect to examine how outcomes are framed, who gets credited or blamed, and how consequences are used to justify actions, policies, or punishments. It asks: why are some consequences highlighted while others are ignored? How do power relations shape what counts as a 'natural' outcome? Drawing on sociology of knowledge and legal studies, consequentiology reveals that consequences are not merely objective results but are actively constructed through narratives, institutional practices, and selective attention.
Example: “The company framed layoffs as an 'unfortunate consequence' of market forces—consequentiology showed how they ignored the consequence of executive bonuses, which were presented as 'deserved rewards.'”

Consequentiology
The study of consequences using the Kremlinological method—inferring causal chains, responsibility, and systemic effects from limited, often contradictory evidence. Just as Sovietologists pieced together policy shifts from the order of names on a podium, consequentiolo-gists trace the ripple effects of actions, decisions, or events by analyzing indirect indicators: who benefited, who was silenced, what changed in discourse, what disappeared from archives. It is especially useful for understanding complex systems where direct causality is impossible to establish, such as the long‑term effects of social media algorithms, corporate restructuring, or political scandals. Consequentiology embraces indirect inference and probabilistic reasoning, acknowledging that consequences often emerge far from their causes.
Example: "Using consequentiology, he linked the closure of a local news outlet to a measurable increase in municipal corruption—not through a single leak, but by tracking budget shifts, meeting minutes, and the sudden silence of former watchdogs."

dead drop
A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.
Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.
A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.
A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.

No Surprises Wedding
A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.
This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.

Blexas
Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
